So, I've heard there's a new movie coming out called “the Hunger Games” and it's also a book series. It's about two young champions, a man and woman to be trained in the art of survival to fight to the death. This is based on the epic novel series by Suzanne Collins. To be quite frank, this series reminds me TOO much of the 2008 film “Death Race” which is about inmates that are champions to race to the death. It's so much like the video game “Twisted Metal” (one of my favorites) but it has epic story line and fun action. I would consider either playing “Twisted Metal” and watching “Death Race” if you've haven't already. Anyways, I had so much fun painting this artwork of Katniss Everdeen, and I tried to imitate the style of the reference image. The line art should be very easy for you work in your own hands, but also, take note that further shading skills is required to result like the preview image above. Now, I hope all you avid Hunger Games fans enjoy this tutorial, now quit buggin' me ;) Thanks for viewing and stay tuned for more fun tuts and requests!

How to Draw Katniss Everdeen, Katniss Everdeen, Hunger Games

STEP 1.

Begin drawing out the shape of the head shape like so and then sketch in the face and torso guide.

STEP 2.

Begin sketching out the structure of her face like so, and notice how she has an oval shaped face. Draw in her hairline which frames the top part of her face, and then move to step three.

STEP 3.

Katniss has piercing eyes, so you will start drawing in her eyes starting with the eyebrows, and then draw out the beginning shapes of her eyes. The lining for the eyes should be thick and bold.

STEP 4.

Finish drawing in her eyes like so, and then color in the iris' and pupils. Add some lashes at the corners of her eyes, and then sketch out her nose and full set of lips.

STEP 5.

Katniss' face is all drawn in. What you will tackle now is getting her hair drawn out as well. Start on the left side and begin drawing thick chunks of hair strands. There is three rows from the root of her scalp, and when you draw the length you can add some more strands at the bottom. Her hair is blowing out from under as you can see. Before leaving this step, be sure to sketch in her ears.

STEP 6.

Now sketch out the right side of her hairstyle and notice how the length is longer. There is more points and tips as you can see, and then sketch in some strand lines.

STEP 7.

Sketch out her neck, and then from there draw the under short collar, and her hoodie jacket that she is wearing over the tee. Add some material folds, wrinkles, and creases, and then add some neck detailing. Clean up the drawing so you have a clean sketch to work with when you color her in.

STEP 8.

Here is the line art when you are all done. As you can see you have a nice cleaned up drawing that you can have fun coloring in. Great work guys, now you have the main character to go with the Hunger Games lesson I submitted a few days ago.
